The cutt-off shield is inside the projector. Its what defines the beam pattern.

Typically a low beam is stepped: _____/-----------
Typically a fog beam is flat:_____________

I'm guessing you left it as a low beam pattern or did you buy a fog light version of the projector?

It still has the cutt-off shielf inside of the projector. However they are aimed so low its hard to see the cutoff line. I will be adjusting them sometime to aim them a little higher, thats when I'll try to get the pics. I'm pretty busy usually (currently in USAF pilot training), but I hope to get this done sometime this weekend.

I was not suggesting removing it. The shield is necessary. I was only referring to its shape.

For fog lights, you can aim them level with the ground. Since they probably have stepped shields, base you measurements/adjustments on the lower side of the cut-off line.

I adjusted them today (haven't checked them out at night yet). Unfortunatley, as I suspected, the area was WAY too small to get my camera to fit into. I could have taken pictures aiming up into them from outside, but it would not have shown any of the bracketry or how they fit. Sorry.

I love the look of the Hellas with Halos. The light output was a bit better just by going with the H4 bulbs in the projectors. About a month ago I installed some HID's though and now they are KILLER, but just aimed a bit low (which hopefully is fixed now )

H4? I don't think there is an H4 version of any projector since H4 is dual filament. Did you mean H7 or H9? (I know the Hella 90mm comes in H7 & H9 versions. What's the part number of the ones you have?)

That halo ring does look good there. It helps fill the gap around the projectors since they are a little smaller than the opening in the bumper.

I just added this thread and your other thread from March to the Firebird Fog Light section in the Lighting FAQ.

CALL911 - do the 120MM use H9's as well? I read your earlier thread when you installed the projectors and you said that 90MM produced a gap which you later filled using a Halo. Is this the 120MM you were referring to that was out of stock at the time http://www.rallylights.com/Hella_120...p_Modules.aspx ? And I'm thinking that I need to replace my 880's for H9's once I purchase the projectors correct?

I think 120mm would be too large, given that the outside diameter of my Halos are only 102mm and they fit snug against the bumper fog housing.

If you do end up getting a set of fogs that utilize the H9's, and want a good deal give me a PM. I can give you a good price on my H9 bulbs. I only had them in the car for a short period of time, and they still are in new condition.

Hey Call911, do you have HID low beams as well? I have HID low beams and installed HID fog lights as well but I kept burning out the accessories fuse and my radio was all funny. What style of HID fogs did you use? Single or dual ballast system?

Your car looks great btw

^, Thanks. I only have HID's in my fogs (as for right now). Each fog has its own ballast. I used the DDM tuning HID kit (best deal out there IMO). I think the color was something like 5000k.
